9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be.
10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see and hearing may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 And they by the way side are they that hear: then the devil cometh and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved.
